Each of the two BMW C 650 Sport and C 650 GT Maxi Scooters 2016 either for Sports Touring and Urban Cruising enables a broader rider group to be addressed than earlier models. The C 650 Sport is geared towards riders with a sporty need while the C 650 GT sets its sights on riders who seek greater comfort and touring capability.The new BMW C 650 Sport and C 650 GT now go further towards addressing these aspirations. With an extensively modified drive-train, more comfortable suspension settings and a completely revised design for the C 650 Sport, they combine more markedly than before the excellent ride qualities of a motorcycle with the specific agility and comfort offered by the maxi scooter concept.

Optimised drivetrain set-up and new exhaust system for a more active riding experience.
The 2-cylinder in-line engine with a capacity of 647 cc once again ensures dynamic propulsion in the new maxi scooters C 650 Sport and C 650 GT. The rated output in both models is 44 kW (60 hp) at 7500 rpm. A variant is also available with 35 kW (48 hp) at 7000 rpm. Engine mapping was redefined for use in the new C 650 Sport and the new C 650 GT with a view to satisfying the requirements of the EU4 pollutant class. What is more, a new silencer gives the vehicles a more dynamic look as well as providing a particularly full sound and enabling adherence to the new ECE R41-04 noise test regulations.

A new CVT transmission set-up in conjunction with new clutch linings enables optimised clutch engagement and therefore a much more dynamic set-off response. This was achieved by changing the transmission ratio spread of the CVT as well as by fine-tuning the centrifugal force weights.

New suspension and damper set-up for increased comfort.

The suspension construction of the new BMW C 650 Sport and C 650 GT continues to use a torsionally stiff hybrid composite structure consisting of a tubular steel bridge frame and a die-cast aluminium unit in the area of the swinging arm bearing. Retaining the existing spring travel of 115 millimetres in each case, it was possible to create a more comfortable suspension set-up. As a result, the BMW C 650 Sport and C 650 GT offer a perfect compromise between sporty flair and comfort.
